Need some help with my crossword! I've been told I have too many 2-letter words. It's really hard to find longer words that can fit in with the words I already have and I can't change the size of my crossword. Anyone got any ideas?

You probably won't like my suggestion, but it's to start again more or less from scratch. Keep your longer word list, and try again, this time keeping in mind that you don't want to use too much filler.

And a suggestion to make crossword creation easier: hit up thrift stores and garage sales for old Scrabble games. Use a Scrabble board and four or five sets of letter tiles to construct your crossword - that way it's easy to try things out and scrap them if they are not working. For me, at least, the hands-on of the board and tiles really helps it all come together.

I would have never thought of something like that, agony, but it is such a great idea!

I've written 11 quizzes, but I'm really more interested in writing single questions in the future. Will I be given the ability to create crosswords from writing singles? I've created crosswords in the past for a small online publication/newspaper project I occasionally participate in, so I have the experience necessary.
